Good Enough Mothering

Donald Winnicott's concept of 'good enough mothering' emphasizes the importance of a mother's ability to adapt to her child's needs, rather than striving for unattainable perfection.

This approach acknowledges that mothers are not perfect and that children can thrive even with imperfections in their care.

The book explores the impact of early childhood experiences on the development of a healthy sense of self.

It highlights the importance of a mother's capacity for empathy and responsiveness in fostering a secure attachment.

Winnicott's work has had a profound influence on child psychology and parenting practices.
